1). Pass It On - The Three Golden Gates The three golden gates is something I first heard about from one of my first pastors, Richard Land. It did not originate with him but I have always been glad that he chose to repeat these words to me. Richard is now heard across the nation daily on hundreds of family life radio stations. He said that before you say anything to anybody ... 2). Thanksgiving - What Were the Pilgrims Thankful For? In boyhood I was satisfied to use my imagination to envision just how the Pilgrims set their feet on the Old Plymouth Rock.

America � Is it in Bible prophecies and what can the USA expect at the second coming of Jesus Christ? This is perhaps the most often asked question heard in connection with the second coming, at least for Americans.

But Presidents Day, it seems, like other special holidays has gone the way of all flesh. Even as a boy I remember questioning how the Birth of a Savior could be overtaken by the notion of a fat little benevolent man who comes bearing gifts. How did the celebration of a... 16). Are Calamities, Catastrophes and Disasters Really Judgments from God Thirty five years of Bible reading has convinced me that God is not nit-picky. He doesn�t judge every little infraction we make as we go minute by minute through the day. In fact to believe that he does borders on the insane and comes well within the borders of frivolous nonsense. What is not frivolous is that God will judge an individual, a collec... 17).
